"Battlestar Galactica 1978" for ABC-TV...and the..."Dr. Strange"...television pilot for CBS-TV which both came out in September 1978. As a matter of fact, the..."Dr. Strange"...television pilot aired September 6th, 1978 on CBS-TV while..."Battlestar Galactica 1978"...debuted later that month on September 17th, 1978 on ABC-TV. So technically, in terms of air dates, the..."Dr. Strange"...television pilot is older than the..."Battlestar Galactica 1978"...television series by 11 days.

Yet another example of Universal Studios absolutely HATING the..."1978 Battlestar Galactica Series"...(no rhyme or reason) for no reason at all. Injecting the necessity of Universal Studios having should have sold this property to someone else decades ago. If Universal Studios hates the..."1978 Battlestar Galactica Series"....this much, to the point of giving an obscure..."Dr. Strange"...television pilot from September 1978 (that only baby boomers remember if that) the superior box art here, as opposed to the..."1978 Battlestar Galactica Series"....remembered by everyone....Universal Studios...."Selective Bias"...in what they own is (once again, as usual, as always) completely out of control at the corporate level and never kept in check by anyone.

Obviously, all of the Universal Studios executives running their DVD Department (really the insane asylum) need their..."Toddler Babysitters"....to constantly remind them how to do their jobs. Which is a completely lost cause at this late date and point in time. Since no one is ever FIRED at Universal Studios for poor job performance. As the..."Ageing Old Farts"....continuing to work in this building decade after decade (going back to the 1970's) can testify to....

It's mornings like this when if feels so good to just be me!!

No thought required on the part of Universal Studios executives. No deep thinking necessary. No philosophy of any sort. Just..."Cars go...'BOOM'!!"....Easy stuff for Universal Studios executives to wrap their..."Corporate Pea Brains".... around!!

You mean...the..."SyFy Channel"...didn't... DIVE.... at the chance to pick this project up? They could schedule it right after their next low rated..."Sharknado"....movie!!

I loved this place!! You walked in...Sat yourself.....Ordered from a menu sitting on one of the tables...No waitress ever took your order because there were no employees working there...You looked around at no one else sitting in this cafe....You looked at the..."Cardboard Cut-Outs"...of employees and customers....and contemplated man's existence within the universe.

It was a great place to unwind!!

Yet another example of the SyFy Channel's impact on our culture being.....ZERO!!.....

I never did get the opportunity to try the...ZESTY...and...TANGY..."Chicken Cacciatore"...on the menu that no cooks ever would have prepared because there were no cooks working there!!

Or any other employees for that matter!!

In a...SURREAL...way, this cafe jibed right in with the..."Fake Battlestar Galactica Movie"...press releases of NBC-Universal because it reinforced this corporation's business philosophy of...

"If it doesn't exist, we have done our job!!"....

...Which is really NBC-Universal's way of saying...

"We wouldn't know how to make money with anything if anything at our disposal did exist!!"...

In the photo above, I think we have the typical..."Binge Watcher"...that SyFy Channel executives went to college and were taught how to cater to with an overall miniscule viewership the SyFy Channel has suffered from for decades. In should be pointed out that the..."Binge Watcher"...in the photo above is anything but miniscule unto himself.

Michael DeLuca and Scott Stuber: Now doing what they were both born to do. Sitting behind the..."ESPN Sports Center"....desk.

You really didn't buy it for a minute that these two guys would actually have the talent, resources, and know how to produce a..."Battlestar Galactica 1978"...movie, did you? And with Universal Studios consenting to go along for the ride? And after 39 consecutive, previous years of refusing to do so? Yeah, right!!

Jack Paglen: Whereabouts unknown. No known picture(s) of him on the Internet, so this blog is forced to use a picture of..."False Face"...the arch enemy of..."Batman"...from the 1966 television series to represent him.

The SyFy Channel: "A reality based, cheapo, and surreal version of..."Spike TV"....with occasional and rare attempts at dipping its...'Corporate Feet'...into the shallow waters of actual...'Science Fiction'...television programming surrounded by an all encompassing sense of bad taste across the entire board of the human spectrum. The...'SyFy Channel'...knows not what it is...what it is supposed to be in terms of a discernible and coherent on-air identity...and remains as abhorrent towards the very...'Science Fiction'...genre it was supposed to be representing as a cable channel during the past 18 years as much as it has failed at taking stabs at other types of television programming as well."

I think we've come pretty damn close this time at accurately defining this...'God forsaken'.... cable channel.

The people (if you want to be polite and call them that) who have worked in this building for the past 39 years have had (and continue to not have) no love whatsoever for the..."1978 Battlestar Galactica Series"...

To the extent that every business decision Universal Studios has ever made regarding the..."1978 Battlestar Galactica"...series for the past 39 consecutive years has been designed to...derail...damage...discourage...hinder...stall...procrastinate...and...wipe out....any opportunities the..."1978 Battlestar Galactica"...series would have to move beyond its poorly managed beginnings (by both ABC-TV and Universal Studios) as a one season television series back in the 1978-79 television series and actually evolve into a thriving and present day..."Legitimate Third Alternative"...to..'Star Wars'....and...'Star Trek'...

Universal Studios would love everyone to believe that every..."rotten to the core"... bad business decision they have ever made involving this series has not been indicative of their obvious..."Corporate Wide Hatred"... of this series and that it has been..."Just a Coincidence"...that every one of these bad business decisions always has the identical end result of derailing any opportunity this property would have to take its rightful place alongside..."Star Wars"...and..."Star Trek"....as a present day powerhouse....

Universal Studios would love everyone to believe that it's..."Just a Coincidence!!"...that every..."Battlestar Movie"...press release it has ever made going back 16 years (starting in 2001) has been a FAKE ONE such as the one linked above and that every one of these FAKE PRESS RELEASES has just happened to have the identical end result of derailing any opportunity the..."1978 Battlestar"....series...would have of coming back to life. And that these FAKE PRESS RELEASES just happen to jibe right in with the..."Corporate Wide Hatred"....Universal Studios has always had for this series.

Just a random coincidence!! Yeah, right!! (Rolling my eyes)

Universal Studios would love everyone to believe that it's..."Just a Coincidence!!"...that it intentionally made the box art as unattractive as possible as it did for this..."Battlestar 1978"....Blu-Ray set and that the result was the identical end result as the FAKE MOVIE PRESS RELEASES above...Such unattractive box art resulted in artificially forced low sales for this Blu-Ray set which just happened to result in derailing any opportunity for the..."1978 Battlestar"....series coming back to life for a new generation of fans and consumers which just happened to contribute to low momentum for a new..."Battlestar 1978"....movie from coming to life. Which just happens to jibe right in with Universal Studios..."Corporate Wide Hatred"...it has always had for the..."1978 Battlestar Galactica"...series.

Just a series of random coincidences!! Yeah right!! (Rolling my eyes)

What else were just a series of random coincidences that absolutely did not point to Universal Studios..."Corporate Wide Hatred"....of the..."1978 Battlestar Galactica"....series?

1. Universal Studios derailing one of its announced..."Battlestar 1978".... movies via..."Fake Press Release"...for a..."Munsters Reboot Movie"....that aired on NBC-TV. Talk about misplaced priorities at the ever so convenient right time!!

2. The..."Battlestar Galactica - Complete Epic Series"...DVD set released in October of 2003 that had cracked and freezing discs, a very poor transfer of the pilot episode... (Saga of a Star World)...and 20 minutes of still missing footage from the pilot episode.

3. The..."Battlestar Galactica 1978"....VHS tapes from the 1980's that had very poor, muddy, and murky transfers.

4. The..."Battlestar Galactica Vault"....book which was a fraction of the size of most vault books and had very little to do with the..."1978 Battlestar Galactica"...series and instead was mostly about Ronald D. Moore's flop...."GINO" - (Galactica In Name Only)...series starring the eternally and ever reliably frowning Edward James Olmos.

I love random coincidences, don't you? Especially when a crooked corporation (NBC-Universal) tries to assure everyone that that is all that has been going on over a consecutive 39 year period!!

Unfortunately in the case of..."Battlestar Galactica 1978"....too many of these random coincidences spanning 39 consecutive years just happened to have the identical end result. Contributing to the derailment of the..."1978 Battlestar Galactica"....series in one new faithful form or another.

It's back to the drawing boards for Universal Studios, isn't it? Who will now..."Not Make"...it's..."Fake Battlestar Galactica"....movie most recently announced by Universal Studios in 2016 and will be announced again by Universal Studios in 2018?

Universal Studios has been crapping out junk..."Battlestar Galactica"...1978 merchandise since the early 1980's...(on purpose)...

1. The crappy looking VHS tapes of the early - mid 1980's with dark and muddy images.
2. Comic books that didn't look remotely like the 1978 series in characters or technology.
3. The...DAMAGED...DVD set of the 1978 series released in October of 2003.
4. The latest Blu-Ray set with intentionally crappy looking box art to turn away consumers.
5. That same Blu-Ray set with a severely...FLAWED...attempt at widescreening.

And on another SHAMEFUL note...

6. A good 20 minutes of the pilot episode..."Saga of a Star World"...still missing and unaccounted for 39 years later due to Universal Studios ongoing status quo....STUPIDITY...This footage survived into the post production process back in 1978 and was indeed cut into the film before the pilot was butchered by ABC-TV and Universal Studios executives.

Universal Studios has made it a... PRIORITY...to release intentionally crappy looking and technically flawed (on purpose)..."Battlestar Galactica 1978"...merchandise to discourage new generations of consumers as well as the original fanbase from latching onto the..."Battlestar Galactica 1978"....series and giving it the same due fan respect en masse enjoyed by..."Star Wars"...and..."Star Trek"....And Universal Studios has been doing this for 39 consecutive years overall.

The safe vantage point of objective observation continues to prove daily that Universal Studios is ultimately hurting themselves with such carefully choreographed...MISMANAGEMENT....as it has been doing to itself for the past 39 consecutive years.

Universal Studios: "It is Science Fiction but it isn't Science Fiction!! It's this really cool..."you can't define it"...cable channel that has absolutely nothing to do with Science Fiction but in peripheral hindsight it does!! Aren't we clever?" Rolling my eyes at this intellectually deficient corporation..."NBC-Universal / SyFy Channel"...

A day care center filled with playing children would make more sense.

NBC-Universal can't even release a..."Battlestar Galactica 1978"...Blu-Ray set without screwing that up!! Let's see...what is wrong with this thing at last count?

1. Intentionally on purpose unattractive box art to keep unit sales down on purpose. To discourage new generations of fans waiting in the wings to latch onto the..."1978 Battlestar Galactica"...series as well as discourage the original fans who were there from the very beginning in September of 1978.

2. A..."Widescreen Debacle"...botched up by..."Technically Moronic Hourly Wage Neophytes"...who couldn't widescreen this series properly without massive technical glitches. No doubt a dream come true for the army of Universal Studios executives who have hated this series from day one.

3. 10 year old..."Extras"...carried over from the..."Also Technically Screwed Up"...."Battlestar - Complete Epic Series"...DVD set from October of 2003. Remember that one? Freezing discs, cracked discs the moment you unwrapped the cellophane from the new packaging. Perhaps most importantly...still missing scenes (a good 20 minutes worth) of still missing footage from..."Saga of a Star World"...the pilot episode of the,,,"1978 Battlestar Galactica"....series. Still unaccounted for 39 years later in any medium.
